One key to success in working with students struggling with literacy skills is providing instructional support outside of the classroom. These supports are often most useful when families are involved in the literacy development process and provided support strategies and resources, as well as progress updates.
Create an infographic to share with families and students that provides resources in assisting students with literacy development in your content area. The communication should be clear, use family-friendly language, and specify the following:
A family-friendly explanation of what literacy is, the literacy components, and why it is important in your content area.
Describe one research-based strategy or resource that is appropriate for practicing each literacy skill (reading, writing, and speaking/listening) and supports the student in your content area outside the classroom.
One method students and/or parents can use to assess students’ progress and growth in content area literacy outside the classroom.
Describe the strategies you will use to communicate student progress in the classroom to the student and parent/guardian/families.
Support the assignment with 3-5 scholarly resources.
